I also liked that there was a link to an interview with Isabelle Caro, which gave more insight to who she was. Eating disorders are so common, especially among college-aged women. At this age we feel the most pressure from peers and society to look and act a certain way, and too often it means being thinner. I think it’s great to have a quick refresher of the different kinds of eating disorders and a reminder of how dangerous and prevalent this disease can be. It's also great that you listed resources available through Tulane Student Health Center for people who may be concerned with this issue.
